Let C be the center of the circle. The measure of arc VSU is , so the measure of the minor arc VU is
. The central angle VCU also has measure
.
Triangle CUV is isosceles, so the angles CVU and CUV are congruent. The interior angles of any triangle are supplementary (they add to 180 degrees) so
UT is tangent to the circle, so CU is perpendicular to UT. Angles CUV and VUT are complementary, so
So finally,
degrees.
Answer: A) 45 ft
Step-by-step
The yardstick is 3ft tall since 1 yard = 3ft. It is 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree has a 15ft long shadow. The tree should also be 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree is 15*3ft tall, so it is 45ft tall. I attached an image of the diagram I made.
